Rand Aid’s Thornhill Manor retirement village and Thembalami Care Centre joined forces on 8 February to play some occupational therapy games with residents.
The event was organised by Thornhill resident Vicky Keenan, a retired occupational therapist who volunteers her time to Rand Aid.
“It was so nice to see how much everyone enjoyed playing the games. Some residents started off saying that they would not manage due to their limitations however, with some encouragement, they were able to participate and were so excited. We all had a most enjoyable morning,” says Vicky.
“It’s wonderful to build a relationship between Thornhill Manor and Thembalami and share ideas. We hope to take turns hosting future games mornings,” she adds.
